The fo/lowing management measures to minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards are suggested: Minimize potential loss and damage by locating development and structures away from flooding and erosion hazards. Require one beach access over the bluff to minimize the potential for erosion. The access should be located to accommodate any future development of the parcel. To further Policy 6.

A sample definition follows: NATURAL VEGETATED BUFFER -- A land area of a certain length and width where existing vegetation occurs prior to the commencement of any grading or clearing activity. Vegetation shall be maintained to achieve a minimum percentage of ground cover of 95%. To achieve the percentage of ground cover, indigenous, drought-tolerant vegetation shall be planted. Survival of planted vegetation shall be 90% for a period of three years. Maintenance activities within the buffer are limited to removing vegetation which is hazardous to life and property, trimming tree limbs up to a height of 15 feet to maintain viewsheds, replanting of vegetation and establishing a four-foot-wide access path constructed of pervious material for access to the water-body. [Added 12-15-2009 by L.L. No. 15-2009] Policy 12.1, "Protect agricultural/ands from conversion to other land uses." D. Provide buffers between agricultural and non-ag~cultural uses. New development located adjacent or in proximity to agricultural land or uses should provide sufficient buffer between agricultural and non-agricultural lands to protect agricultural uses from interference from non-agricultural uses, and protect non-agricultural lands from potentially offensive agricultural practices. Further, if the action is approved it is recommended that a veRetative buffer be established between the western (main) parkin,q area and residential properties to the west and between the eastern overflow parking areas and residences tn the east to minimize potential conflicts between the residences and the future agricultural/winery use. The location of the buffers should be further discussed (e..q. On the property line or against the parkinq areas) If the above recommendations are accepted as conditions it is recommended that the Board require that the conditions be memorialized in a filed covenant and restriction.
